Ed, this is to the parents of young children. So many of our children are allowed to roam the city streets. Most of these children are left alone and this is how the gangsters get in. Those guys are predators and they are looking for someone to prey on. On any given night you can see teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 on the street after 10 o’clock. How many do we have to lose for you people to see we must change this vicious cycle? I was not happy to see all of those young men on the front page of the paper for a crime that should not ever have taken place. Too many of these parents are long-term drug and alcohol abusers who have given up. Let me tell you if you really wanted to change you can.

Responsibility

Don’t give up. If you can’t change for yourself, do it for your kids. —Ed. Note
